No longer just “hippie” moms-to-be: More women delivering babies at home with Colorado midwives

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:48:54 GMT

Eileen Fruithandler delivered her second child at home with a midwife in 1992 – an era when she and her late husband faced pushback from loved ones about the decision.“I’m lying to everyone – I had to lie,” said the 66-year-old Denver resident, who splits time between Denver and Palm Beach, Fla. “It wasn’t in vogue when I did it.”In the three decades since Fruithandler’s secretive delivery, more pregnant mothers-to-be — of all ages, backgrounds and income levels — have followed her path of using midwives.The number of women who birthed at home from 2020-21 rose 12%, “the highest level since at least 1990” at more than 51,600 births, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And, from 2016-21, more certified midwives — who have faced misconceptions about their educations and care historically — have joined the profession to meet the boost in demand.“We’ve done home births in R...

This old-school Italian menu will soak your nostalgia in garlic

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:48:54 GMT

On the day that Coperta opened eight years ago in Denver, a customer approached chef Paul C. Reilly after his meal to tell him that he wouldn’t be returning. When Reilly asked what he had done wrong, the man said: “No lasagna. No garlic bread. It’s not Italian food.”Reilly understood his point. Coperta specializes in authentic Roman-style cuisine – like cacio e pepe, carbonara, bucatini all’amatriciana, cavatelli ragu and ricotta gnudi – which is just one of many regional styles of cooking in Italy. But there is no sign of the “Italian” dishes that generations of people in the United States grew up eating, like spaghetti and meatballs, fettuccine Alfredo, stuffed shells, chicken parmesan, and ricotta-slathered lasagna.Most of these Americanized dishes have their roots in Italian cooking, but the immigrants who brought them to the United States in the 1800s and 1900s had to change the recipes to suit their finances and the different kinds of ingredients they found here.
